I  applaud puppeteers who do take time out from professional performances to  
teach puppetry to today's kids. I took puppet class (marionettes, all summer  
long) when I was 8. Only 2 of us stayed in touch with Lora Pattison, the WPA  
Recreation Project instructor, and that lack of feedback is not unusual. But  
some of it filters back, YEARS later! And because I benefitted from puppet  
class, it is an impulse to give back, and teach.

How many critters are  also teaching the next generation? What are some of 
the funny experiences, the  succsses, the crises?

Out of each class of 20, only one is needed with the spark  ignited to become 
a
  puppeteer and love the art, with libraries and community centers in  all 50 
states
  that 1 in 20 students bitten by the bug, will total in the thousands  
nationwide and
  will bring new blood to the art. if everyone that could would  dedicate 
just 30 days
 of each year less then 10% of their year teaching the art and history  of 
puppetry
 you will see a surge in interest like you have never seen  before. and the 
POA 
 membership swell two to three times its present level.
